Counting our Blessings

This weekend we made our way to Kansas City to celebrate baby boy's upcoming birth with our family and friends there. Unfortunately on Friday the skies decided to open up and bring a winter storm through the midwest. The storm started early in the morning on Friday and continued throughout the day. We decided to still go ahead and make our way back to KC Friday night as it is a 3 hour drive and we wanted to make sure I was well rested for baby's celebrations the next day. During our drive the winter weather continued to intensify and move along with us. Well this is where the counting our blessings comes in.
We were about halfway to KC and all of a sudden our car loses control and begins to surve all over the road finally landing us in the median. We were only going 45mph so it is not like we were speeding down the highway but something got under our tire causing hubs to lose control. Luckily, none of us were hurt and neither was the car. We know that God was there protecting us and He guided us to safety. Within 2 minutes of landing in the median a police car pulled up and was able to call a tow truck for us and we were out of the median with 20 minutes. This to us was totally a blessing from God, His hands were there not only to keep us safe but to provide help immediately. We are so thankful that God's love for us is always around. He is always there to protect His children and keep them safe. Once we got back on the road we were praising God the rest of the trip, as we know things could have been much worse especially with this little guy inside of me. Thank you Lord.

Saturday afternoon was our first shower for baby boy and it was so great! It was so wonderful to see all our friends that we don't see often enough and family and all celebrate baby boy. He was blessed like crazy by these people and I can't wait to introduce each of them to him when he arrives. Here are some of the pictures from the shower:
